At the Somerset Association of Cricket Officials (SACO) AGM held on Monday 25 November, Ben Peverall was awarded the Peter Kent Memorial Shield.

Clive Rees, County Development Officer and last years winner said that it was an honour to handover the award to such a young umpire who has achieved so much in such a short time, and that it was great to see Ben selected for the ECB National Panel in 2019 (covering County 2nd XI and Minor Counties cricket) at the age of just 26.

If you are interested in learning how to umpire or score, then please contact SACO secretary Stuart Allbut (msallbut@hotmail.co.uk) as training courses for both of these vital roles are taking place in January through to April, in readiness for the 2020 season.
